Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 Olive oil
1 Onion
2 Garlic cloves
2 Butter
4 All-purpose flour
2 1/2 Milk
1 Lemon pepper
2 Salt
1/2 Canned baby clams
1/2 Canned clams
10 Cooked pasta
1 Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Saute Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over low heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic cloves. Saute until they become translucent and aromatic, infusing the oil with their flavors.

  2. Incorporate Butter: Add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and mingle with the onions and garlic, creating a rich and flavorful base for the sauce.

  3. Create Roux: Sprinkle all-purpose flour into the skillet, stirring continuously to form a roux. This will help thicken the sauce and give it a creamy consistency.

  4. Add Milk and Clam Juice: Gradually pour in the milk and reserved clam juice, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Increase the heat to medium and continue cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, coating the back of a spoon.

  5. Seasoning: Season the sauce with lemon pepper and salt, adjusting the amounts to taste. The lemon pepper adds a subtle citrusy kick while the salt enhances the natural flavors of the clams.

  6. Incorporate Clams: Gently add both the canned baby clams and clams to the sauce, stirring to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer gently, allowing the flavors to meld together and the clams to heat through.

  7. Simmer: Continue to simmer the sauce until the pasta is cooked to your desired doneness. This allows the flavors to develop further and ensures that the clams are tender and succulent.

  8. Prepare Pasta: While the sauce is simmering, cook your favorite pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a small amount of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.

  9. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the skillet with the creamy clam sauce, tossing gently to coat each strand evenly. If the sauce is too thick, you can loosen it with a splash of reserved pasta water.

  10. Serve: Transfer the creamy clam pasta to serving plates or a large platter, ensuring each portion is generously coated with the luscious sauce. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top, adding a final touch of savory goodness.

  11. Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor each mouthful of this decadent Creamy Clam Pasta, reveling in the harmonious blend of flavors from the sea and the creamy richness of the sauce. Pair it with a crisp white wine or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
